DON’T TELL ME WHO TO LOVE
Gabi is footloose and fancy-free, floating through endless one-night stands and hangovers. So, when her grandmother announces she’s returning to Spain, Gaby is happy to tag along. After all, someone needs to keep an eye on Nana, and a change of scenery might be just what Gabi needs to jump-start her life.
Aisha embodies the thrilling beauty, passion, and sensuality of Spain. A mesmerising performer, Aisha expresses her repressed desires through poetry and by dancing the flamenco for tourists in the bustling streets of Granada. Miles from Devon, Gabi is immediately intoxicated by Aisha’s sensuous dance. And for Aisha, Gabi is the world of love and endless possibilities that she has always dreamed of.
Does Aisha have the strength to put love above family loyalty and cultural traditions? Can Gabi stop history from repeating itself? And why has Nana come back to Spain after all this time?
An exquisite love at first sight lesbian love story
“Don’t Tell Me Who to Love is quite simply an exquisite book that tells the tale of two beautiful love stories, one spanning decades and both trying to navigate a way through adversity and cultural traditions and beliefs.”
“Oh my, but this love story is so very unique that only by reading these masterfully written words can one really feel the emotion in this book. It is full of angst on Aisha’s part, it is full of hope on Gabi’s part. The epilogue—-the epilogue!!!!! Absolute perfection. Please read this because your heart will appreciate it.”
“Yes, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we have a winner!! This wonderfully written tome was one you hated to put down, it was that gripping. A great story of a plethora of emotions (highs and lows), incredible character development and evolvement, taking you on a delightful path of growth from page 1 to the last word. Thank you, Ms. Nichols for a wondrous journey from UK to Spain. Absolutely delicious in every way.”
“What a beautiful book; sharp plot and fully rounded characters. Granada itself is virtually a character and the oppression of the rules by which Aisha has to live by are very tightly drawn. You can almost feel the claustrophobia. Wonderful taut writing - as controlled and sensuous as flamenco itself - and I love the references to Lorca and poetry. One of Emma Nichols’ best novels to date.”
